MOST Forum sketches 5-Gbps future April 25, 2013
At the recent MOST Forum in Esslingen near Stuttgart (Germany), experts discussed the presence and future of the MOST data bus used in automotive environments. Against the background of the AVB/Ethernet camp seemingly having gained ground recently, the MOST proponents mulled the specifications of the next MOST bus generation MOST bus. Key parameters for the 5Gbps optical data bus already take shape.

The fourth MOST Forum on March 20, 2012 in Stuttgart/Esslingen (Germany) will celebrate a significant milestone of MOST Technology: with MOST150, the third MOST generation will go into series in 2012. However, MOST stakeholders are facing increased competition from Ethernet as a standard for in-car networking, even in the infotainment domain which hitherto is regarded as the stronghold for the MOST technology.
In the world of automotive electronics, new usage models call for closer ties between car and IT. The integration of cars into IT applications, in turn, affects the technologies deployed in the vehicles. EETimes Europe discussed the perspectives of car connectivity with Kurt Sievers, Senior Vice President and General Manager of NXP Semiconductors' automotive business unit.
With the MOST150 infotainment bus system entering series production, Goepel electronic provides a new communication controller supporting that bus system during design and test of MOST-based automotive systems. While completely new designed, the PXI 6161 architecture is based on the company's successful Series 61. Using this new hardware platform, users are able to individually and flexibly configure the controller according to their individual needs, the company says
The MOST Cooperation - the standardization organization for the automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) - has released the MOST150 Electrical Physical Layer Sub-Specification Rev. 1.0 based on coaxial cable.
At the MOST Forum in Frankfurt, the first OEMs announced roll-out time lines for the latest version of the MOST infotainment bus. The Volkswagen group plans to integrate the fast data bus in Audi's A3 volume vehicle in 2012. Daimler pursuits a different strategy, planning to start with its flagship S-class models in 2013.
The program for the third MOST Forum will focus on MOST150 implementation issues, including the roll-out of the first vehicle based on this in-car networking technology.
Berner & Mattner Systemtechnik GmbH (Munich, Germany) has launched version 5.0 of its MODENA model-based infotainment component test system. The functionality of the release has been significantly enhanced, with support for the MOST150 infotainment bus system probably being the most visible differentiator.
The MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) network technology is about to leave its roots in infotainment applications behind and target safety-relevant applications. At the recent meeting of the MOST standardizing industry group, research results were presented which prove that the current standard iteration MOST150 is almost ready to support such applications. For instance, MOST could be used to interconnect driver assistance systems, the group states.
